A Model for Off-Body Propagation Channels in Indoor Scenarios at mmWaves
This paper presents an off-body indoor propagation channel model. The model is based on a Friis transmission equation to which it adds the orientation-dependent body shadowing loss by adopting a basic model derived from a cosine function. Furthermore, the developed propagation model accounts for human body dynamics and different material reflections coefficients, both implemented using a random variables with uniform distribution. Created model was evaluated against a set of measurements conducted in the indoor environment at mmWave frequency (60 GHz) gathered from the literature, showing a good fit. The difference between the slopes of the proposed model and measurements is less than 6%.
